"GROUND RULES FOR COOPERATION" (DANIEL COYLE AND JOHN WOODEN) Any group activity is improved when all participants have cooperation. In his book, The Culture Code, Daniel Coyle discusses some "ground rules for cooperation":
"When Forming New Groups, Focus on Two Critical Moments: Jeff Polzer, the Harvard Business School professor who studies organizational behavior, traces any group’s cooperation norms to two critical moments that happen early in a group’s life. They are: 1 The first admission of vulnerability. 2. The first disagreement.
These small moments are doorways to two possible group paths: Are we about appearing strong or about exploring the landscape together? Are we about winning interactions, or about learning together?
At those moments, people either dig in and become defensive and start justifying, and a lot of tension gets created," Polzer says. "Or they say something like, ‘Hey, that’s interesting. Why don’t you agree? I might be wrong, and I’m curious and want to talk about it some more.’ What happens in that moment helps set the pattern for everything that follows."
Applying these six ideas from Coach Wooden is a good start on establishing a cooperative environment:
